I had a MR Ferrari 599 GTO in blanco white with the navy blue stripes, gunmetal wheels... kept it for a few years, but just threw it on eBay a month ago and someone from China bought it within hours.
Checked the guys feedback, he is buying on average about 50 models per day and has been doing so for like 6+ months... just insane!! He must have trucks backing up to his house every day!

i am sad you sold yours... this is the only 599 i have and i like it very much...

i am sad you sold yours... this is the only 599 i have and i like it very much... | I never took mine out of the box and never tried to find a display case... I think the MR base is actually kind of ugly with the 4 rivets in the corners... I think if I was putting mine in a case I would have unmounted it lol
This was mine:  | |

ugh why did you sell it... so nice 
i finally pulled mine out of the case. i guess i need to find an acrylic box with a bottom that is wide enough to stuff all this inside without taking it off the existing base still attached? 
the current MRs have different bases now in suede, alcantara, etc. which has a lip for a cover to sit on. but when i tried to ask MR i wasn't able to get a reply

someone was asking about their autoart order at wilkinsons. this is from their newsletter dated today: Quote: What's New
Here is the Latest News
A quick note to say "Hi"and share some pictures of the old place. Pictures of the new place will be coming soon. Even though we are working very hard , progress is slow but it is all coming together. Hopefully we will be set up in 2 weeks!
We have had some packages arrive but we have not had enough time to process them. Auto Art was scheduled to arrive 2 weeks ago but when it was to be delivered the driver sent it back to Auto Art, thinking that we were closed and not realizing that we were actually working in the back of the store and could have accepted the shipment! It is now expected to arrive this week at our new location. |

i keep them where there is space and sleep on the floor because the pumpkin has the bed. 
actually many i've had for some time, but i never took pics of anything. but after i recently joined a diecast facebook page where photography is encouraged i only started to take pics of everything now. but a lot of stuff is still bnib... either too expensive or worried something might happen to them if they are out in the open
